Good stuff. You have to think that was a major incentive for Jeremy once he got into this world and realized just how insane it could be. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

I think it's safe to say that after the first season or, at least half-way through, the issue of government intrusion has become a bigger part of the show than originally thought. The round-table meeting he had with neighboring farmers and hearing the plight that they've all gone through with all the vagaries of government bureaucracy and regulation should've driven home the issues UK farmers have to endure. The issues the women dairy farmer he was purchasing milk and the badger problem on her farm, was particularly poignant. | |||

Most excellent! This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears above ground he is a protector. Plato | |||

So great, can't wait for Season 3! We loved Clarkson's Farm. I recommended it highly to my Leftist/Socialist/near-Communist brother who lives in England with his commie English wife. Somehow they didn't mention it again. Clarkson brought an international spotlight of notoriety to the little fiefdoms of local bureaucracy that are often worse--because of lack of openness--than national ones. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

Le'me guess, are they in London? Where they're like New Yorkers, living in a massive bubble, disconnected from 'those other people' in the other parts of England? The liberal elite regard Clarkson as a buffoon with too large of a public profile. | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
If he was an echo chamber for their ideology they'd love his show and him... Clarkson's an interesting character, I've got to go back to watching the Farm show... | |||

Probably worse, they'e in Oxfordshire. And to think my brother started out in FFA. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

Clarkson's farm is in the NW corner in-between Chipping Norton and Chadlington, that whole area is renown for its classic English villages. | |||

Get on the fifty! |
First 4 episodes are out "Pickin' stones and pullin' teats is a hard way to make a living. But, sure as God's got sandals, it beats fightin' dudes with treasure trails." "We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been quite possibly, bamboozled." | |||

Thank you for this, this series (first season down) is excellent! ___________________________________________ Life Member NRA & Washington Arms Collectors Mistake not my current state of joshing gentle peevishness for the awesome and terrible majesty of the towering seas of ire that are themselves the milquetoast shallows fringing my vast oceans of wrath.

It's still a good show although the formula is starting to wear thin. Jeremy does something brutish, Charlie points out all of his errors. It rains a lot. Animals die. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

I dunno. Top Gear's formula started wearing thin years before Jeremy got the trio kicked off it, but it still got lots of views. You must admit there doesn't seem to be anything like it on TV. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

Excellent, accurate summary _________________________ NRA Endowment Member _________________________ "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C.S.

At least one of the rifles was a Blaser. Interesting Clarkson got buck fever. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||
